Have you ever seen

a flag with black stripes? This was displayed on the front porch of a restored home in the historic district of Richmond called The Fan. This area was so named because of the "fan" shape of the array of streets that extend west in the city. It was added to The National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
If you can identify the type of flag this is, I would be most appreciative.

A little googling got me the answer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Brittany

Amazing how googling is now an accepted word.

@rayswrld I wish I had a prize to give you. I had no idea it was an actual historic flag.

How interresting, and way to go Ray for finding the answer.

Leave it to the librarian to encourage us to find the answer rather than look it up for us!! I love it when your posts teach us something new. Thanks Ray for sharing your discovery with us @rayswrld! Lovely shot Allison!

Hmmm... I had no idea! It looks like "selective b&w!"

I love Virginia---so much history and charm. How interesting about the flag--read the link that Ray sent. Amazing how much we learn on 365! Wonderful photo & the angle shot makes it even more striking!
